"OpenAI and Microsoft Face Increasing Copyright Lawsuits from Authors"

Microsoft and OpenAI are facing a lawsuit filed by nonfiction authors Nicholas Basbanes and Nicholas Gage in Manhattan federal court, alleging copyright infringement for using their books to train AI models like ChatGPT. This class action suit adds to a growing list of legal challenges from various authors, including George R.R. Martin and Sarah Silverman, who claim their works were used without compensation to develop AI technology. The New York Times has also recently sued the companies for similar reasons.
